Do you have Security plugin? If there is a option Filter long Url’s, you have to uncheck it. That worked for me

@mikestankovich, thank you very much for your answer.

Before reinstalling Site Kit I disabled all plugins.

@philcomputing Thanks for reporting, the context is very useful. From the other sites which you have operating fine do they all have the same configuration?

If you want to attempt setup once more please following the steps below:
1. Reset Site Kit
2. Delete the plugin in full from your WordPress install
3. Temporarily deactivate the SG Optimizer & CoBlocks plugins
4. Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme (such as Twenty Twenty)
5. Attempt setup once more from a browser incognito window

@jamesosborne,

thanks for your kind help. I followed your instructions:

• The reset was not possible because this step is only shown after verification. Since I will be sliding to an error page during installation, I cannot perform the reset.
• I have deleted Site Kit
• I have temporarily disabled all plugins
• I have installed and activated Twenty Twenty
• I have installed the Site Kit plugin in incognito mode

Unfortunately I still get an error message: “The page could not be found”

The following URL is attempted:

sassen.org/wordpress/wp-admin/?action=googlesitekit_proxy_setup&googlesitekit_code=sitekit-eGgkFN6ni5rZJcTN7cEGr&googlesitekit_site_code=4%2FwwGjnHW-HedEsHfsHud8_4SNwSWVc5XHaooiyHo1oI7dMy8I4zFMqS-1ktVDNUF2HSISxArsWC3gsGSlMF8CzM0&nonce=f541e29780

I hope this information is helpful, Phil

@philcomputing thanks so much for the info.

1) To confirm the step in the setup process where the 404 happens, could you send us a screenshot of the page? Jumpshare is a service that allows you to upload and generate a link to share the image.

2) Do you have any of SiteGround’s caching features enabled on the site at the server level? Could you try disabling those in your control panel area temporarily and reattempting setup?

3) Do you have any security features enabled at the server-level?

@reneesoffice,

I am in contact with Siteground. There are no caching systems preventing the plugin to be installed, or security rules that are failing it.

You can find the screenshot here: https://ibb.co/9w3hr7x

An additional information that might be helpful: the page was originally set up under the subdomain dev.healthupyoutlife.com and was moved by an automatic process by Siteground to sassen.org

@philcomputing I’m unable to check your site at present, it seems down.

When you had Site Kit setup previously did you setup using the subdomain?

@jamesosborne,

thank you for your new attempt to help me on this.I am surprised to hear this. That really can’t be. sassen.org is up and running.

This must have been a temporary problem.

• This reply was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by Philcomputing.

@philcomputing It may have been a temporary hiccup server side.

Can you inform me whether you’ve setup Site Kit previously using the subdomain? If so inform me of the different variations of your domain here.

@jamesosborne,

I have used dev.healthupyourlife.com as a staging environment. After that I moved the WordPress instance to https://sassen.org/.

In the properties overview in the Search Console I get the following information:

https://www.sassen.org/

3 hours ago = reconfirmation failed
1 day ago = reconfirmation failed
1 year ago = reconfirmation successful

sassen.org
2 years ago = Renewed confirmation successful

It seems that the plugin tries to call the page via “http” and not via “https”.

Greetings Phil

@jamesosborne,

strangely enough sassen.org is shown in the overview as a single domain without http: or “https: prefix. This seems to cause the error.

Enclosed the screnshot of the overview: https://ibb.co/nrgFTc6

@philcomputing thanks so much for the info!

The sassen.org listing usually indicates the Search Console DNS verification method.

I’m not sure if you configured this via your domain at some point, but it shouldn’t conflict with the setup process since your site address is https://sassen.org/.

Site Kit supports this currently, but let’s check a few other items additionally:

1) I actually noticed in this screen shot you provided that Site Kit is attempting to return back to your site dashboard via "https://sassen.org/wordpress..." which is probably why there is a 404.

Did you at any point have the site or the WordPress (files) in a separate directory?

It doesn’t look like you have this setup now, but let me know if this sounds familiar.

@reneesoffice, thank you once again for your help.

SiteGround had been informed. I post an updated on the process as soon as I receive a reply.

Regards from Hamburg – Germany, Phil
